Berkeley Just Turned Into a WWE Smackdown During Charlie Kirk's Tribute Event

Chinese-American Woman, crying. She came out to see the torch relay in SF and ended up in the middle of political protest against China's human rights polices

Well, folks, things got spicy at UC Berkeley this week during a Turning Point USA event that was supposed to be a memorial for Charlie Kirk. What started as a seemingly mundane right-wing gathering quickly escalated into a full-blown drama fest that would make reality TV producers proud.

When Protests Meet Performance Art

Four UC Berkeley students kicked off the evening’s entertainment by attempting some artistic “vandalism” - which apparently involved hanging a giant cardboard insect and plastering flyers with Kirk’s most controversial quotes. Talk about making a statement!

Fists Fly, Tensions Rise

The real excitement began when a fistfight broke out between a protester and a Kirk supporter. Picture this: a guy selling Jesus t-shirts gets into a scuffle, ends up bloodied, and suddenly Berkeley transforms into an impromptu boxing ring. Four arrests later, it became clear this wasn’t your typical campus event.

The Aftermath

Protesters weren’t done yet. As event attendees tried to leave, they were met with a barrage of snarky comments like “What’s it like to be remembered as a misogynistic, racist enabler by your grandchildren?” Classic Berkeley, keeping it real and confrontational.

By Berkeley protest standards, this was basically a mild Tuesday night. No windows smashed, no massive property damage - just some good old-fashioned political tension and a sprinkle of physical altercation.

Just another day in the Bay Area, where political passion meets street performance.
